What no running!!! But, But I wanna be just like you guys your my heroes.<HR>

Hey Roly ... I always take 2, usually 3 weeks off from running after a marathon and just cross-train a bit, starting a week to 2 weeks afterwards. I don't kill myself. One thing that does happen to me after a marathon is a supressed immune system, so it often happens that I will get sick soon after a marathon. I've had bronchitis several times afterwards, but this year was just a nasty cold.

Don't kill yourself now to find yourself in a horrible state of overtraining later, like right before Jay. Grommit and I have a really wide base and a horrible number of races between us. Besides that, we're stupid and silly but when it comes down to it, when it gets serious, I think we would take our own advice instead of our usual throwing caution to the wind.

Besides that, I think that Grommit and I are both genetically lucky with endurance genes. Both of us are extremely functional on little sleep and rest ... sick puppies we are! But hey, even I have my limit ... I'm going to try to get 7 hours sleep tonight! Last night was 2, which is way too little. 4 or 5 is more manageable. 6 is basically normal. 12 is I'm in a coma. But I've slept 14 hours straight a couple of times when I really needed it.

Take the proper time to recuperate Roly ... we love you and want to see you finish Jay in one piece, alive and kicking.

Ralf: I am sorry to hear about your shin splint. So you're on Voltaren? That's one of my best friends. So you're going to get acquainted with Ms. Pool and Ms. SB? I will think of you as I train ...

Grommit: Why Mr. SB ... surely Ms. SB would have been more exciting, n'est-ce pas? Thanks for the links, will take a look later when I get some more time.

Chops: I heard you were "barred" - what happened?

QQps think I made a mistake I thought Grommit wrote Mr. BB. so I'm sitting around with Mr. Beer Bottle.. besides Mr. SB is a pain in the A$$.

Sally you got to be kidding 2-3 weeks off, next week is the start of my 18 week intermediate marathon training program for Ottawa.

You guys are all so scientific with workout / injuries etc. I am impressed. On the other hand, when I think too much it usually gets me into trouble. Have been feeling lousy lately, probably due to either the weather, overtraining or need for another vacation. Been on the treadmill more than I would like to admit, lately. Trying to get my body use to sub 7:00min./mile pace for Boston & Ottawa. Won't do much for my 10K though. Ile Bizard is almost upon us.

Tonight felt particularly tired. Ran for 55 minutes on the TM @ 8.4 - 8.6 mph ( 6:58 - 7:15 / mile) which ordinarely would have been relatively easy, but not tonight. Struggled the whole way, breaking things down into 5 minute segments, just to finish. Phew! Did my weight program after a brief rest, though I could only manage 2 sets of 13 exercises, rather than the usual 3. Bed will feel great tonight.

Hope to be at Hurley's, if Mr/Mrs. Weather co-operates. Goodnite all.

Boy, those articles were a mouthful! All that jargon ... you would be impressed, Mercury. I on the other hand am thinking, what!? I don't have time to do all my physio exercises nevermind all those other tests, even taking my heartrate regularly is a chore.

Alright, Grommit, you win ... I will try to adapt a more regular rest routine. I miss running, that's for sure ... I may have to chat up Mr. TM ... Ick.

Mercury: hope to see you at Hurley's, even with this crappy weather. Heck, it took me over 2 hours to get downtown today, which is about 9-10k away. Police, firemen, blocked streets, ice galore, water spewing out of sewer system, stalled cars, accidents. The pedestrians were a heck of a lot faster.

Roly: Mr. BB is a good friend. I should invite Mr. BR (Barbadian rum) over sometime ...

Sally

p.s. Back to bed!

Oh don't cancel! Just show up a little late if need be ... A member of my tri team is supposed to show up - he needs running partners!

Swam an hour and a half and also ran 6k, the distance to and from the YMCA pool. The people are really nice on my tri team and I will try to get some of them out running with us.

Sunday - Mont-Royal - meet at monument on Parc - 9am - Who's in?

no Running on Sunday.
DW van is in the shop till Monday. Good thing it was all the recalled parts that broke.
Besides I need the day to rest, with all the sick people at work I think I may be coming down with a bug.

And thanks to TB for having his birthday 'cause that gave us the perfect opportunity to stuff our faces with good food and great cake. Thanks for picking up the cake, DR, 'cause I would have never found the time! DELICIOUS! Sorry the rest of you missed it ... we saved you a piece ... NOT!

TB, you didn't mention the special round treats that DR gave you as part of your gift, and I'm not talking chocolate ... sooo thoughtful.

Roly: Good to see you alive ... don't forget, take it easy a few more days ... cross-train ... think future Ironman in your head ...
